The Honourable Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun got to the pinnacle of her career on Friday, August 23, 2024, when she was sworn-in as the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN. She will drop the prefix, “Acting”, when the President sends her name to the Senate for clearance. It is not envisaged that the no-nonsense Lagos-born Jurist, married to an accomplished former Banker, will have any problems at the Senate.
She was sworn-in by President Bola Tinubu, who returned to the country in the early hours of Friday, from Paris. He administered the oath of office on her at the Council chaamber of the State House.
